The more than two-hundred striking duotone plates in Hilla and Bernd Becher's Industrial Facades continue the famous Dusseldorf
photographers' formal investigation of industrial structures, in this case the frontal elevations of factory buildings. Like
the Bechers's earlier books on water towers, blast furnaces, and gas tanks, Industrial Facades once again clearly displays
their serenely cool, rigorous approach to the structures they photograph as variations on an ideal form. The Bechers make
no attempt to analyze or explain their subjects. Captions contain only the barest of information: time and place

Bernd and Hilla Becher's almost fifty-year collaboration constitutes the most important project in objective and conceptual
photography today. With this volume, grain elevators join the list of building types documented by the Bechers in their book-length
studies: water towers, blast furnaces, gas tanks, oil tanks, mineheads, frame houses, and cooling towers. Grain elevators
are towering structures in the flat, vast landscape of the world's granaries. Providing a fast and efficient method of loading
and unloading grain to keep pace with the industrial production methods of the nineteenth century, they made possible a tremendous
increase in the trafficking and processing of grain. Scooping, pouring, and spitting, they both illustrated and inspired Le
Corbusier's idea of buildings as functioning machines. Monumental, essential, and visually arresting, grain elevators belong
as much to the American imagination and landscape as to the European. The photographs of grain elevators in this volume were
taken in Germany, Belgium, France, and America. But the specificity of time and place is erased in these photographs; the
monolithic structures evoke the agricultural prosperity of a vanished era and the vacancy that replaces it today. Bernd and
Hilla Becher have collaborated since 1959. Founders of the internationally acclaimed Becher class at the Dusseldorf Art Academy,
they have received numerous awards, including the Golden Lion at the 1990 Venice Biennale and the 2002 Erasmus Award. Bernd
Becher retired as Professor at the Düsseldorf Academy of Art in 1999
